- Miami, FL, USA • Oct 23, 2024

I was messaged a job offer from an overseas company looking to further establish their footprint in the United States and asked knowledgeable questions regarding the position being offered. I was also asked if I would be willing to spend at least $500 to download software for the position which would be "reimbursed" by the company. I was making communication with the scam artist via Teams Messenger and email. I was asked to answer word documents for the position and answer questions as previously mentioned. The person asked for direct deposit information which I was reluctant to provide, thus I did not only the company. The person sent me fake checks to my home address for 10 times the amount specified would be needed. After going to a bank teller, I was told the check was fake and I was a victim of a scam, I messaged the person in return telling them what I learned and they said "(bank) can be so weird sometimes", I responded by saying no.. I don't know any company willing to send a random person $5,000 for training. The following day I received another fake check via the same method through FedEx envelope at my door and told the person I would report them and the person immediately got offline

I was targeted via email about a job and asked to please send my resume, which I did. I was quickly told that I got some job, paying $1690.00 weekly, plus benefits. After a bit, I realized what was happening. They sent me a check and said I was to look up airline dlights for them, after depositing the check. I emailed them that back I was not interested in the job and that I would not deposit the check, but return it by certified mail. I did receive a check in the mail today for $2483.99.

The scammer contacted me through various numbers. First over text (619)384-7647 then over whatsapp (517)786-1032 the customer service (210)248-4838 and (215)989-8110. They tell you that you that they are a part of the Digital Dot company based in NY and that you will be helping through a content recommendation engine. The task is just to sumit products that they show you on their site. They ask you to connect your crypto wallet or cash app as they do not pay in dollars. Once you work completing the first task they assign, they ask you to deposit money in to the account they create for you with the excuse that you need to have $100 minimum in the account in order for them to send you leads to confirm on their platform. If you do not deposit the money they go to the next person and do not "allow you" to work any more for them.

I was emailed from a fellow Shippensburg University email and approached about a job opportunity that meets the exact description I read. I filled out a google doc form and entered my name phone number email and the bank I use. Upon thinking more I realized it was odd that they requested which bank I use which led me to here. No account numbers were given out but it is very odd and worrysome they reached out through my school email.

I applied to a job posted on Indeed, for a Customer Service Representative. I received a reply that I was a strong candidate for their Personal Assistant position. The person asked me to describe myself, and my work relations. The job offer seemed to be too good to be true. I decided to go back to the ad placed on Indeed, and I couldn't find the posting. I tried to look the company up on line, and it does bring me to a website, with a person of the same name and company name, except in the email offer the company name was provided without INC. on the end and the online website uses INC. I have saved the email chain and I can include it as part of this report.

I told them I had a card that I used for direct deposit, they continued then said I was offered the job but would need stuff to start working and I was given a list of stuff I needed to purchase then they would refund to me. Continued with job description. Then asked me again about a bank account and when I told them again I don't use a bank account, they stopped chatting
